Wireless focus/iris/zoom (FIZ) lens control

WF-14CinemaLive productionWorship
Draft: corrections pending. Teradek is correcting the slots, fit and segments of this workflow; read it as a draft.

A focus puller or camera operator moves the lens focus, iris and zoom wirelessly with a handheld controller that talks to a small receiver and motors on the camera, so the lens is driven without touching it. It is separate from video monitoring (WF-09) and from DIT camera control and colour (WF-10); the only links are the monitor that shows lens overlays and, on CTRL.5, optional camera settings.

Slots, in order

Build a kit →

Ready kits by cameras: 1 camera · 2 cameras · 3 cameras · 4 cameras. Each slot's pick follows the workflow sheet: its strongest-fit current candidate, then the sheet's order. It is not a Teradek recommendation; the other candidates are listed with their prices.

Text equivalent (the workflow’s one-line chain, always rendered)Handset (CTRL.1/3/5) → 2.4 GHz FHSS → camera-mounted receiver (MDR.S/MDR.X) → lens motor(s) (MOTR.S/MOTR.X) on the lens; optional handset mounted on a monitor fed by a Bolt link for lens-data overlays; optional TOF.1 rangefinder

The chain names Bolt, but no slot lists a product or service it stands for as a candidate: the chain and the slots disagree.
